Singer turned designer, Sang A, caught our attention with her bold designs. She began designing stage costumes for herself and her back up singers. How often do you get a story like that about designers? No wonder we love her! She draws inspiration from Sophia Lauren and designers Christian Dior, classic and new Balenciaga and Rey Kawakubo and describes her collection as “modern classic with a dose of avant garde”. So what does a former singer now designer wear? She never leaves home without her watch (a pregnancy gift from her husband) and her iPhone. Her must have for Fall is a Balenciaga double breasted skinny jacket and of course her own SANG A Flash parallelogram clutch in blush crocodile. Sounds divine! When asked what she would throw together if she has only 5 minutes to get ready, she said it would be her favorite Comme Des Garcons black silk one-piece dress, Balenciaga deep blue and black bubble jacket, SANG A Flash clutch, SANG A custom-made perfume (it’s a project in development) and the Tom Ford for Estee Lauder blush bar. Now this is our kind of girl, she knows how to get herself together without a fuss. Like us she cannot live without her family, husband, baby and bags!! Her favorite being a vintage 1940’s French tote of unknown manufacturer in black calfskin with gorgeous gold-plated hardware details. To get away she loves the Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Lake Como, Italy. But closer to home, she escapes to the SoHo House in NYC. If all else fails her 3 year old daughter Olivia Im Propp can always make her laugh.
